Yeah, exclusives are not only a means of appeasing retail, they're also a means of getting the "odd" out to the public. Some of the reasoning as to what's odd or not eludes me (I would think a Wedge figure would be as popular as Gold Leader, if not moreso, but whatever), but at least a "new" wedge comes of it.

That price stings though... I am at a loss why Wedge isn't a figure Hasbro wants at retail though.

Yeah, what Hasbro has against Wedge being a regular, carded figure is inexplicable. I think it's safe to say retail isn't sore on him the way it was Tatooine Luke at one point. I'm not buying this, because I know Hasbro will go back to him, again, as soon as they come with another pilot body to kit bash him from.

At least you can order Wedge from home. So, in that aspect I could see it being better. With Target you have to first find a DCPI number, 2nd a willing employee to go in the back to get it for you, 3rd the store has to physically have it, 4th the employee can actually locate the box it is in.

Or stand in line an hour before the store opens, get a ticket, and hope they have it there for you

I have to say i still like exclsuives like this, con exclusives still annoy me though. As long as everyone has a shot at it, much like this one, i say why not. I just wish it was a little more obscure.

Wedge has shown up on eBay! It seem strange that the card appears to be done in the style of the Original Trilogy Collection with its squared bubble, rather than the expected The Saga Collection that would have a more rounded shape, as shown here.

Why is the falcon the background image for the card?Its almost the same as the General Lando and regular Han both of those have the falcon as the cardback background.I thought they could do the rebel hanger bay or something!!!!

The problem with America is stupidity I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself

I'm kinda on the fence as to whether or not I want this figure... as an opener, I already made this figure by customizing a Dutch Vander. Just removed his head and added the Wedge head. I suppose my helmet on mine isn't accurate though.
